U.S. President Barack Obama on Thursday chose a White House budget official to lead the beleaguered Internal Revenue Service temporarily and vowed to ensure that the tax-collection agency will not single out any more groups based on their political beliefs.
Danny Werfel, the controller of the Office of Management and Budget who served as a point man on the controversial automatic spending cuts known as "sequestration," will start in the new post on May 22.

'SOMETHING PROFOUNDLY UN-AMERICAN'
On Capitol Hill, the scandal seemed to rewind the clock to 2009 and 2010, when groups aligned with the conservative Tea Party movement were a frequent and vocal presence outside Congress.
At a rally that drew about 100 people from around the country, dozens of Tea Party leaders denounced the IRS and raised questions about the Obama administration's involvement.
"There is something profoundly un-American about targeting your political opponents," Kentucky Republican Senator Rand Paul, a potential 2016 presidential candidate, told the crowd.
Tea Party leaders described how the IRS prevented them from participating in the democratic process - in some cases by delaying their applications until after elections had passed, and in other cases through intrusive questioning that prompted some to give up their organizing effort altogether....

Yeah, I have a comment. ONWARD TO 2014!
“vowed to ensure that the tax-collection agency will not single out any more groups based on their political beliefs.”
Translation: “Next time I won’t get caught.”
Yeah. Did Rooters mention anywhere that the IRS head Obama “fired” was due to retire in a few weeks anyway?
Every IRS audit letter by every individual and business should be sent to the local a local Tea Party representative, state representative, state senator, congressman and senator, of whatever party. Then they can be compiled and narrowed to the partisan government workers.

so he has ZERO experience
The IRS
RIGGED
the 2012 election. Why are we not burning the building down?
Oh, yeah, because we’re civilized conservatives.
Yeah, that’ll really inspire new confidence in the IRS.
CNN and Jeffrey Tooooobin certainly didn’t. Also didn’t happen to mention that apps with progressive sounding names flew through.
A temp to replace a temp....
Hell, the IRS behaved criminally in this manner for two years leading up to the election and stopped immediately afterwards.
It’s my understanding that this temp is only temporary, and will be replaced as soon the scandal surfaces that he is responsible for.
Obama’s teleprompter should have given hin the following line:
“What does it matter! I won re-election!”
He was only in the job temporarily until June when the position was to be filled permanently.
In other words, all Obama did was to fire a temp.
Or that he didn’t come on at the IRS until AFTER the 2012 election.
If Obama were an honest and smart politician...
...he would nominate Sarah Palin for the job.
No joke. Maybe just for a year. But you do it and you get confidence back in the system.
But Obama will probably get Lenin’s old body to fill the post.
” chose a White House budget official “
Gives him more experience than zero has (and that ain’t sayin’ much!)...
The IRSS is a criminal organization, which are basically government hired guns to go after, intimidate, harass, threaten and attack whoever they please, at the whim of the insider government ruling class.
While they demanded everyone play fair and abide by the laws and rules, they operated outside the law with vicious, "You owe us, pay up" arrogance.
So the IRS stole the senate and presidency for the socialists/democrats.
Obama and the media want us to believe that Obama didn't know that for 3 years HIS IRS and all HIS agencies were doing all these illegal things to help him rig the election to get him elected(obama) . Impeach and make it resign and send Obama to prison
Rush played a clip today of the POS Obama not answering a question on if the white House knew of what the IRS had been doing . Rush said that showed they did know. Obama answered another question not the one that was asked
